Angled exhaust=less bends=more power

Plus didn't the hks put down the most power out of all the other exhaust in the that one tuner magazine. I just got it for the bling..hah.

Oh... sucks for you!
If I recall correctly, the Turbo Mag shootout determined that HKS made best torque and Blitz made best hp.

Thanks for the review. I'm leaning more toward the HKS carbon ti because I think carbon fiber is dope. Also because i read some where that its a limited edition exhaust with limited applications.

Not really. You can get it anywhere anytime that sells this exhaust for the wrx....

They also sell this for other cars as well

i just installed a gutted stock down pipe, and the exhaust sounds great now. loud but not to loud, and that still with the cat in the mid pipe, although i hope to gut that soon as well.

i'm looking to take off the HKS once i finish other mods and get some money for a vishnu or turboxs..

One thing i love about the HKS is that it pops. lol. sounds like a race car or some sort of motorcylce. haha.
